Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetically Driven Winds from Differentially Rotating Neutron Stars and X-Ray Afterglows of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts
TL;DR: In this paper, a differentially rotating hypermassive neutron star (HMNS) was proposed to generate a quasi-isotropic and baryon-loaded wind driven by the magnetic field, which is built up through differential rotation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Twisted-torus configurations with large toroidal magnetic fields in relativistic stars
Riccardo Ciolfi,Luciano Rezzolla +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new prescription for the azimuthal currents that leads to magnetized equilibria where the toroidal-to-total magnetic field energy ratio can be as high as 90%, thus including geometries that are toroidal field-dominated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetorotational instability in relativistic hypermassive neutron stars
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of magnetic fields on hypermassive neutron star (HMNS) interiors is investigated by performing three-dimensional simulations in general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electromagnetic emission from long-lived binary neutron star merger remnants II: lightcurves and spectra
Daniel M. Siegel,Riccardo Ciolfi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-consistent evolution of the post-merger system and its EM emission starting from an early baryonic wind phase and resulting in a final pulsar wind nebula that is confined by the previously ejected material is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electromagnetic emission from long-lived binary neutron star merger remnants I: formulation of the problem
Daniel M. Siegel,Riccardo Ciolfi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed model to bridge the gap between numerical simulations of the merger process and the relevant timescales for the afterglows, assuming that the merger results in a long-lived neutron star (NS) rather than a black hole.
